I wanted to try these powders for so long but as much as I love shopping I hate paying for shipping so I don’t shop from sites that are not located in Europe, so of course I was so happy when angel (owner of artist couture) announced beauty bay (uk makeup site) now sells his brand. I immediately ordered two of his most famous shades, conceited & illuminati, every since they arrived I’ve been using them religiously & I love them so much. These powders are so finely milled & goes on smoothly & looks amazingly beautiful on the skin, I can officially say these are my favourite highlighters & I recommend them to all my highlighter junkies.

Pinky and mauve nudes are my favourite nude lipsticks to rock because they go with any eye look. These four are my favourite and the ones I rock daily. From left to right: makeup geek plush matte (Marriage Material), NYX lip lingerie (Exotic & Push-Up), Milani Amore Matte (Precious). I love the formula of these four lipsticks and that they last all day long, when I eat they hardly move and they are even kiss proved lol. These are also all drugstore affordable lipsticks which goes to show you don’t have to spend big bucks to get great quality lipsticks. If you’ve never tried any of these I recommend you do because they are amazing lipsticks that looks and feels great on the lips.

If you need a setting spray that actually control oils you need this in your life. This is not a new product, it’s been around for years but I recently started using it and just wanted to share my experience with it. I was searching for a primer or setting spray that will control how oily my t-zone gets sometimes and this did the job. Sometimes I spray it on before I apply my foundation as a primer because I love it that much and it’s that good. I also love how flawless it makes my makeup look after I use it to set my face. This is an amazing setting spray and a makeup lover must have.

My favourite foundation and concealer brand. Nars is one of my all time favourite brand, I love their formula and the quality of their products. The soft matte complete coverage concealer is my favourite concealer for life, I love that its matte and that it does conceal. The all day luminous foundation I don’t wear by itself, I usually mix it with a thicker foundation because its really watery but I love the formula of it. The deep throat blush is one of my favourite blush, its beautiful and pigmented and really I bought it just because of the name hehe. The creamy radiant concealer is also great, I don’t use it as often as the soft matte concealer but its just as amazing. The virtual domination palette I don’t use often either but its a great palette especially to travel with since it has 4 blushes and a bronzer. The sheer glow foundation is my favourite foundation for life, not only does it gives great coverage and a flawless finish, it also has skin benefits, a foundation with skin benefits, what more does a girl need lol, sometimes I mix it with my Estee Lauder double wear foundation but whether mixed or by itself, this foundation is one of the best on the market. Nars will forever be one of my favourite brands an I hope one day I get to meet to the founder and created. I recommend these products to all makeup lovers, of course nars has a big line of makeup and skincare products, some I haven’t tried yet, but definitely will be purchasing and trying because I simple love this brand.

I had to do a review on these brushes, not everyone is a fan of this brand but I am. Why buy a 46€ brush when you can get the same quality brush for less, majority of the brushes I use are from morphe and they get the job done. Now like every brand, not every brush from this brand is great but the ones I’ve purchased and used are. The elite line is my favourite, I love how soft and luxurious they look and feel, I own a few from all the lines but the elite is my most favourite. Some people hear the word morphe and automatically think you’re sponsored by them or getting paid to give a good review but I have no affiliate with morphe and I can honestly say they are great brushes and not only are they great, they are affordable. Mac brushes are great, sigma brushes are great but not everyone wants to spend a arm and leg on makeup brushes, especially those just getting into makeup. Whether you’re just getting into makeup or already into makeup, morphe brushes are great brushes to try if you’ve never tried them before.

This is the best primer I have ever used, this primer is everything I needed and more. It mattifies, smoothes and makes my foundation looks flawless. I’ve been searching for a great primer that actually stops my t-zone from getting too oily and this does just that. I’ve been seeing this online every time I’m shopping for makeup and was ignoring me, but since Estee Lauder double wear foundation is one of my favourite foundation, I decided to purchase this and try it and I am so glad I did. I have found my ride or die primer, Estee Lauder is a very luxurious high end brand so I am not surprised at all that this primer is so amazing. I don’t think I will ever be using or purchasing another primer, this primer does exactly what I need so I will forever be using it. This is really a perfecting primer because whenever I apply my foundation over this, my face looks flawless an I haven’t even set it yet. If you are searching for a great primer, I recommend this one. I also love that it doesn’t feel oily, its not thick and it blends easily into the skin and it also doesn’t have a weird scent like some primers I’ve tried.

This is officially my favourite drugstore concealer, this concealer gives great coverage, it doesn’t feel heavy and it does not move. Take it from someone who actually needs coverage underneath the eyes, this concealer gives me the coverage I need. I have been using it religiously ever since I discovered it, I reach for it over all my high end concealers because I just love how it looks and that it does conceal my dark circles. However I will say that it’s a bit oily so if you have oily skin I don’t know if it’s for you, but maybe you can just use a little and set it really good with a great powder and it may work for you. I personally have normal skin so I have no problems with it but I always set it, I also noticed that if you take too long to set it, it will crease on you so I set it immediately as I blend it out. This is one of the best concealers I’ve ever used and I recommend it to all makeup lovers especially those who suffer from dark circles like myself. I switch between two shades, golden and tan.

This finishing powder is the bomb.com, it gives you a airbrushed look not only on pictures but also in real life. I recently discovered it and I’ve been using it religiously ever since. It’s lightweight, soft and does what it says. I have three shades, one I use to set my under eyes concealer, one to set my foundation and one I use as a bronzer. The shades I own are golden, deep golden and classic tan. This is a great powder and its affordable which is a plus, if you’ve never tried them you should, I guarantee you’ll love them. A lot of times drugstore products are underestimated but honestly this powder is comparable to the Mac mineralize skinfinish powder, I own both and have used both so I can honestly say if you can’t afford the Mac one definitely get the nyx one because they are the same.

I found out about these eye polishes from watching beauty gurus on youtube and I’m so glad I did. These eye polishes glam up any look, I love how beautiful they are and they last all day. I use them as a part of my everyday makeup routine because I don’t usually do too much for my everyday makeup look and these give my look a little glam. There are a few shades in this line but I currently own two, the silk and satin ones, I love them both and would recommend them to every makeup lover.
